Recently, I have installed Office 2019 Pro Plus (64 bit). Whenever I click the help button in Access, Word, Excel and so on, a browser window opens and shows a (more or less appropriate) section of Microsoft's support web sites.

Is it possible to install the help files locally?

Please note that we don't have access to volume licensing; that is an installation from the ISO file which we downloaded from Microsoft Partner Center via our MAPS subscription.

    To expand on Moab's statment, Office 2019 to my knowlege, does not have a built-in help file. Even the legacy "Help" file format has long been discontinued. I am not sure your statement the ISO has anything to do with the subject, I have an ISO, and I have a Office 365 subscription. Outside of the fact if it's Click 2 Run or MSI the Office installation is identical to one another (other then the office products that are installed).

  • I am mainly after the documentation of VBA, ADO and so on. I still think that a classical help file would be appropriate for that. Complexity isn't an argument against it. At least, for me: I have learned nothing from video tutorials so far, while I learned a lot from "printed" documentation. By the way, Visual Studio offered to install the documentation locally; this wasn't a help file, though. It was a browser with integrated web server and documents, but worked very well, while I often get "Unable to display help" e.g. when hitting F1 in the Access 2019 VBA Editor.
